just submitted my class choices for the second part of autumn term and i’m nervous. what if i picked wrong. what if they have to go down my entire priority list because my grades suck and i don’t get in anywhere so they stick me in advanced calculus where i’m really not in a good place to be (maybe next year but dear lord please not right now)
#she speaks#cth adventure#i might not even have to do advanced calc at all#it depends on what master's i want to do#i'm down to two and one of them requires advanced calc but i have no idea if i'd even enjoy it#it's either 'software engineering' or 'data science & AI' and naturally the data science & AI one requires calc but i don't know if i'd#even enjoy data science because i haven't tried it#so my first choice for next study period is 'introduction to data science & AI' which apparently has a super low fail rate actually#which is always nice#and then i put down physics because we have to do one natural sciences class to graduate and that one seems the least terrible#advanced calc is at the bottom of my list not because i don't enjoy calculus but because it has a 50% fail rate and#i can't handle that right now. i can best a 50% fail rate i've done it before but never when my bad brains have been THIS bad#(and then i stuck 'advanced programming in python' in the middle bc it's particularly inspiring but it sounds nice and isn't too difficult#judging by the grade statistics)#god i'm on my third year can you believe it#also on my third year of lousy mental health. and i still haven't killed myself. go me

Alright, Direct thoughts time I guess. I'm not gonna be all flowery and happy because I honestly wasn't that impressed so if you don't wanna read the mean ol spoiled nintendo fans thoughts then keep scrolling.
I care not for Fire Emblem. I also care not fore Advance Wars but I'm still happy to see that this game is coming, I don't want it, but any time Nintendo ressurects an old IP is fine with me. Also the character designs are fun.
I care not for Mario sports spinoffs, but I do think we were overdue for a new Strikers game. I don't want it, but I admit they fill a role, and I do appreciate the more unique rough and edgy style of the striker games, and of course Next Level is bringing their usual brand of extra expressiveness to the Mario crew that Nintendo isn't as good at doing themselves... I do worry that this may be a little more sanitized compared to older strikers games.
I'm just not feeling Splatoon 3. I loved the first Splatoon. I had an okay time with the second one but it felt like more of the same... and this third one so far just looks like even more of the same than before... I guess we'll have to wait and see more of the single player campaign.
Kirby is horrifying now I see.
I guess Chrono Cross rumors were true. I don't feel a storng urgency to play that game, I like Chrono Trigger just fine but I am not one of those people that would put it in my top 10 or even top 50, and I hear the sequel isn't that good. Maybe if it's cheap I'll check it out.
I've been curious about Klonoa forever so i'll check that out if the price is right.
LIVE A LIVE is a genuine suprise. That game has been on my backlog forever. I'm actually not a huge fan of the 3D HD stuff though so I think I may stick with the fan translated SNES version unless they include the original with the remake ( something I feel every remake should be doing. )
Already said my piece about the Kingdom Hearts releases. If you don't have a playstation, pirate it. DO. NOT. SUPPORT. CLOUD. GAMING. It's fucking stupid.
I was excited to see new stuff for Metroid but it all turned out to be difficulty options that should have been in the base game and a boss rush, which also should have been in the base game. Can't complain too much when it's a free update, but I really wish these things didn't have to be added later. Not everyone has guaranteed ongoing internet access.
The EarthBound re-releases.... sigh... I'm just tired of Nintendo and their fans feeling like they deserve a pat on the back for doing things that they've already done before, and should just be an expected thing that they should always do, and doing it a few years later than they should. Earthbound releases are not a huge deal anymore. None of Nintendo's retro releases are and they really shouldn't be praised for the way they handle their retro games, especially since they used to do a much better job at it, but failed to make sure it carried forward to current generations.
Switch Sports is also a genuine suprise. I thought that series would have died with the wii. Is the same audience for those games even on the switch? I know Switch has outsold the Wii at this point but that's largeley due to it being a handheld and not a great console to share with other ppl. I don't exactly see Granny Ethel playing tennis at the retirement home with a Joycon. Still, I liked Wii sports. If I can get it for a bargain bin price, maybe i'd pick it up.
I forgot that I bought portal on Steam ages ago and never played it... oops. I really should give it a go, it's one of those instant classics, yes?
Mario Kart's DLC is pretty cool. Mario Kart 8 really is going to be the best Mario Kart game at this rate, huh? The Switch version already had more tracks than any other Mario Kart game before it thanks to the DLC from the Wii U version being bundled in. And they only want a quarter of the game's price to double the number of tracks? This is way better than a new Mario Kart game imo.
If I didn't mention an announcement, it means I have no thoughts about it.
